Dear Mr. Trump,

I’m not surprised that you’ve got other Republicans – Sens. Cotton and Perdue – lying on your behalf. It’s laughable that you deny saying what you obviously said. Why would Senator Durbin make that up, particularly when he wants you to sign a DACA bill? Senator Flake was aware of your disgusting comments before they hit the news, because he heard about them from other people at the meeting. Senator Graham confirmed that you made these vile, racist comments. The comments, by the way, are consistent with the racist views everyone knows you hold: wanting to ban Muslims from entering the country, the discriminatory housing practices in your own business, your welcoming the support of the Ku Klux Klan, your calling the American Nazis “some very fine people,” and the list goes on forever.

I understand that, belatedly, you deny making the “s**thole” comment, but your credibility is non-existent. You bragged about those comments to your friends before you realized that you shouldn’t have said what you said. Now, more lies flood from your mouth. You’ve proven over and over again that your main modes of speech are the lie, the blatant lie, and the outrageous lie.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
